Our BAY Communities are unique, because they are designed to give back to and build up our City, State, Country and World through our BAY Causes. All our proceeds and passions go to support our BAY Causes.

Here are a few of the Causes our Skate Community supports:

The All-Access Pass

| providing at risk youth with free recreation, access to mentors, resources and supportive services through Skateboarding, Art and Music.

Skate for Change

Coffee

The Coffee Bar located inside The BAY is Lincoln’s favorite creative hub. Set in our restored warehouse, the Coffee Bar serves unique espresso, crafted coffee cocktails featuring Counter Culture coffee and espresso; and a small menu of in house made food items. Sip on coffee, get some work done and be inspired by the beautiful mural work of Wes Sam-Bruce.

The BAY includes a private meeting space available for reservation. The meeting space is equipped with everything you need to host a successful and positive meeting or class. Amenities will include food and beverage options, projector, free off-street parking high-speed wi-fi and webcam conferencing. Reserve the meeting space here.

Our Coffee

The BAY features Counter Culture Coffee which has been roasted in North Carolina for twenty-one years. Counter Culture prides itself in supporting single-lot and small farmers and paying fair wages, to not only the farmers, but to the shippers and handlers of coffee. Stop in and try beans from all over the world at The BAY Coffee Bar.

Art

Art Art has always been something that The BAY has placed significant emphasis on. We believe that art is one of the most powerful means of allowing young people to better understand themselves, and better communicate themselves to others. However, in typical BAY fashion, we do art differently.

Art Events

The BAY is home to some of Lincoln’s finest Art focused events. Keep an eye on our events page for art events like the Skate Art Music Festival, first fridays, local art shows, installations and more! Learn more here.

Murals by: Wes Sam-Bruce

The BAY Lincoln is home to two of Lincoln’s finest mural pieces. Wes Sam-Bruce, of Greely Colorado, completed two mural installations in late October, 2015. The murals incorporate renderings of iconic Nebraska barns surrounded by geometric shapes, strong lines and repeating hands. The buildings are on stilts to represent The BAY’s success in elevating the community; while the hands represent the value of each individual and their contribution to community.

Find Your Grind Collective - Coming Soon

Out of a belief that organic learning happens best in an environment that encourages curiosity, we are creating the Find Your Grind Digital Art Space at The BAY. Get excited, because it is coming soon!
